Stereo Times review on the remarkable Naiu Labs Ella MKIII amplifier

Your personal assessment of the value of teajay's information has nothing to do with the point I am attempting to make. If you think that a reviewer posting a notice of his review on an independent site on behalf of an entity which profits directly from visitation is not an ethical misstep then we differ. Further he saves you the trouble of reading the review by giving you his opinion of the piece in the first sentence.

Shame too. I just ordered a piece that he  reviewed and purchased in the last year or so. 

@teajay thank you for the honest reviews and comments. I’ve heard the Arno 40 and it’s phenomenal, which gives me comfort in your test. Question (which I understand you may not be able to give a direct answer to): I have a Pass SS amp. If you had this amp and had to choose between the Aric/Backert/LTA, which one would agree best with your musical tastes? Thank you.

@teajay keep posting here as you conduct yourself professionally.   We are adults and can decide to read or not read a review.  I don’t see you pushing hard for sales or readership.  No issue at all here.  

Hey grannyring,

Thanks for your support.

Regarding pbecker128 inquiry about a preamp to team up with his Pass Labs amplifier. Aric, of AricAudio, just built me a custom line-stage that is truly balanced from input to output, uses a single 5751, along with a single 12AU7 buffer tube and is tube regulated which sounds extraordinary in my system. It is not a production model, but if you give Aric a call he will give you all the details about this model. A friend that came over to hear the AricAudio Custom was so impressed he ordered one for himelf.

teajay,

I read most of your reviews. No complaints here.

There have been discussions about reviewer and dealer input here for years.

Last I remember dealers and reviewers had to identify as such and you always do so I don't see the "problem" that some are complaining about.
